HERCULES, CA – A lottery ticket worth more than $1.8 million was sold earlier this month at a Hercules restaurant, California Lottery officials said Friday.
Creekside Café at 1581 Sycamore Ave., No. 9, sold the winning ticket to Kiran Singh, who wouldn't disclose the plans for the money.
But Creekside Café owner Michelle Thuy said she plans to use the money the café gets from selling the winning ticket to take a vacation and put the rest into the restaurant, according to lottery officials.
Thuy will receive a retailer bonus of $9,194 for selling the winning ticket.
